Frequently asked questions
Can I use EBT at McDonald's in Merced?
Yes — this location is authorized for the SNAP Restaurant Meals Program, so eligible recipients (age 60+, disabled, or experiencing homelessness) can pay with their EBT card for prepared meals. Standard SNAP cases that don't qualify for RMP can't buy restaurant food.
Who can use EBT here?
Only recipients enrolled in the Restaurant Meals Program: those who are 60 or older, have a disability, or are experiencing homelessness (and their spouses). Your card is flagged automatically when your case qualifies.
What can I buy with EBT at McDonald's?
Hot and ready-to-eat meals are covered. Alcohol, tobacco and non-food items are not, and most states don't let EBT cover tips. Purchases draw from your regular SNAP balance.
Does every McDonald's accept EBT?
No. Only locations authorized for RMP in participating states accept EBT. See other McDonald's locations on our McDonald's page.
